Laser Eye Surgery Cost and a Possible Alternative

The price of laser eye surgery is reducing as technology becomes more readily available, but is still quite prohibitive to the majority of people. Prices are always quoted for a single eye regardless of whether both eyes are being treated at the same time.

The surgery cost will depend on the amount of preoperative testing and postoperative care required. Problems with laser eye surgery may be avoided with the correct screening and testing, so it's important to find a surgeon that will take time to test thoroughly before proceeding with the operation. Follow up appointments are essential and enhancements (a second laser eye surgery procedure on the same eye), should be considered when necessary. It is important to find out if these are included in the cost of surgery, as most clinics will charge separately for enhancement procedures, and you don't want any nasty surprises.

The average cost in the US for laser eye surgery is $2-3000 (as of 2009), dependent on your surgery location and your current health. The prescription charges after this can vary widely from state to state.

There are some very viable alternatives to laser eye surgery that can get your vision back without such a large investment in time and money. Eye exercises are a method first developed by Dr Bate's and now updated by modern ophthalmology research to provide a way for people with reduced vision to reacquire almost all their eyesight to its previous level. These exercises work just like other body exercises and work the eye's muscles and structure so they become more flexible, strong and capable of focusing.
